2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar

Look, I'm an England supporter, but after seeing yesterday's press conference with Berhalter and Adams and the insane questions they had to face from Iranian reporters (Iran state media), I hope the U.S. wins Eight-Nil.

The moderator didn't step in and allowed the press conference to go off rails.

Iran reporters were asking about Navy ships near Iran and U.S. inflation (to a soccer coach).

Having been aboard those Navy ships, I really want to say, Fuck em! Aimed at their government because they look like prisoners of war standing there while the national anthem is playing for them.

I hate vuvuzela's. Now let's go boys!!

Iran looks like a bunch of guys that don't want to spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Thankfully I'm watching Peacock/Telemundo.

If I had to watch FOX like I did for NFL on Sunday and saw those promos for the Big Ten Championship game, I'd keep getting pissed off over and over again.

Interesting sub in Carter-Vickers no?

Maybe foul concerns (and/or fitness) with Zimmerman?

I know Scotland is in season, but MLS ended maybe 1-2 months ago.

Gio Reyna should be well rested if the US reaches the knockout rounds.

I don't know if anyone recalls, but there was a docu-series on U.S. Soccer in 2014 when Klinsmann shouwed how Nike would pick out his outfits and shoes for every match.

It was the dumbest thing I've ever seen (grown man having clothes picked out for him, even though Nike paid him).

I have the first goal in the U.S.-Iran game between 16-30 (specifically 23rd minute) on Bovada.

Is Sargent better facing or with his back to the net? I don't know enough about his play to guess what favors him over Wright.

Time wasting 10 minutes in (by Iran) is always fun.

This just has the feel for the continuation of a pretty shitty sports weekend.

I was at the World Cup with Vuvuzelas (in 2010).

This sound during the U.S.-Iran match is bringing back memories (even though they're not Vuvuzelas).

It's the Americans patriotic duty to silence the horns.

US certainly look dangerous to score. Have to keep this up and not get too tight/anxious…but that gets hard as every minute passes.

Well, Iran isn't going to push anybody up, therefore taking counters out of the question.

Goal will probably have to come from a set piece or quick passing/movement around their box (which I have yet to see from this U.S. side this World Cup).

It's like playing Sam Allardyce teams.

I so look forward to the U.S. scoring to shove this time wasting up Iran's ass.
